Project ECHO: Care of Older Adults & KCHC Meeting

During COVID-19 precautions, all Project ECHO meetings will be held virtually via Zoom.

Our Project ECHO Care of Older Adults seeks to improve the health and wellbeing of older adults. Among the many challenges Kentuckians face in rural and underserved communities is healthcare access. This is especially true for older adults. In these communities, it can be difficult for individuals to find providers close to them who are educated in the complexities of caring for older adults. Download our flyer here.

Project ECHO: Care of Older Adults is a growing community of health care providers and community stakeholders dedicated to best practices in the care of older adults. Sessions are on the 3rd Friday and start at 12:00 p.m. They are followed by a meeting of the Kentucky Coalition for Healthy Communities (all times EST). All sessions will include an educational didactic (topics found in the schedule below),  case presentation, and discussion to address the following needs:

  1.  Providing patient-/family-centered care;
  2.  Improving chronic health conditions;
  3.  Providing effective behavioral health interventions;
  4.  Improving treatment and care of those with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias; and
  5.  Increasing interprofessional collaborative care.
